Why We Love This

This vibrant carryall tote is handmade in India from vintage reclaimed cotton -- as such, each piece is one of a kind, with any imperfections in the fabric adding to the character and unique nature. The hand-stitched cotton is finished with durable leather handles and silk lining in a color chosen to complement the gorgeously patterned exterior. The silk interior has a zip pocket and two small patch pockets, perfect for mobile devices. With two snaps on each side, the tote easily expands, yet also folds down to a small size.

Textiles from India and the surrounding countries are renowned for their vibrant colors, patterns, and stitching. Kantha, a type of stitchery popular among rural women there, is also the name given to lightweight throws and blankets made of old saris featuring this type of needlework. These one-of-a-kind totes are created in this beautiful tradition.
